Detroit man arrested for driving stolen vehicle in Waterford

A Detroit man was arrested Saturday morning in Waterford after police discovered that the vehicle he was driving was stolen.

Waterford police stopped the 34-year-old Detroit resident for speeding in a Chevy Equinox westbound on Elizabeth Lake Road near Gateway. The vehicle had no plates.

When stopped, the driver gave police a false name, which had warrants for arrest attached to it. Officers detained the driver, who then gave them his real name and denied knowing the vehicle was stolen. The vehicle was reported as stolen out of Troy in July 2012.

Police arrested the driver for receiving and concealing a motor vehicle, obstructing police and driving with a suspended license. He was lodged at Oakland County Jail pending further investigation.
